I know a lot of you are probably expecting a post about my NYC adventures I mentioned on Friday, or Luke’s 1st birthday party, but today is dedicated to March’s Secret Recipe Club and this time I got to choose something from A Cook’s Quest!

I was very interested in Jenn’s Baked Penne with Chicken, Broccoli and Cream Sauce, and her Peanut Butter Struesel Brownies, but decided to go for something a little different – a creamy tomato tortellini soup.

I actually worried this tomato tortellini soup was going to taste like eating tortellini in too much sauce/watered down sauce, but it was excellent! Imagine a flavorful, creamy tomato soup, with cheesy tortellini thrown into the mix. Pretty much a great idea.

You could make it a bit fancier by using fresh onion and herbs but that would increase the time it would take to make this quick and easy soup. Sometimes I make everything from scratch like tortellini en brodo, but this is not one of those times.
